Prasiolite Ring

Prasiolite or chrome diopside which is the hardest gem?

I break and scratch everything! I want to make a ring. These are my favorite gems (at the moment) i dont want to damage the stone too much! Thank You!

As well as the previous excellent answer - do consider buying Gemstones of the World by Walter Schumann as it gives complete details on the hardness of every gemstone and is a wonderful reference book for any hobbyist.
